More and more financial institutions are partnering with FinTechs and leveraging Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to attract new prospects and to delight current consumers through unprecedented Customer Experience (CX). APIs offer a bridge between systems while paving a digital path to a connected financial ecosystem.

Rather, these institutions understand that they must move from a vision of banking as a physical network of branches and ATMs, to a digital platform, comprising core capabilities such as account servicing and the provision of financial products that can be accessed wherever, and whenever, customers wish.

Join this webinar and learn how these institutions are building a digital banking platform with APIs.

Being able to scale successful initiatives fast can be your organization's differentiator in today’s digital environment. It’s not easy for technologists though; 50% of IT decision makers say they were unable to complete all the projects they were asked to deliver last year. That’s a significant IT delivery gap to plug.

ADP, one of the largest global HR services providers, was facing significant issues to deliver and maintain agile and lightweight integrations. One of the ways to address this was to launch the Interface Platform Data Exchange project (known as DEX) to expose APIs and connect to 3rd party interfaces, such as time and attendance systems and learning management systems. ADP is focusing on making connectivity to these systems self-service, allowing them to define their integrations on standard API’s, onboard customers quicker, improve customer satisfaction and broaden their integration capabilities for the future.
